<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/doris-wingerson"></a>Doris Marcine Wingerson, 100, died March 3, 2021, in Portland, OR.&nbsp; Born in Clay Center, KS, she was the daughter of Richard August and Johanna Dorothea (aka Dora) (Obenland) Brueggemann.&nbsp; Always identifying as an educator, Doris, at 17, initiated a long-term relationship with Tri-Sigma while starting college at Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, Emporia, KS.&nbsp; She began teaching kindergarten and primary grades at age 19.&nbsp; After teaching a few years, she returned to get her BA, then again taught until she married George Charles Wingerson in 1949.&nbsp; The couple had three children, Georgann Dorthe, Jon Richard (Ricky), and Dane Kurt.&nbsp; Doris and George divorced in1984.

Doris was molded by the years she lived in KS, 1921 - 1962.&nbsp; Most of those years, she spent growing up in Clay Center or raising her family in Hill City.&nbsp; She always felt close to her identical twin, Dorothy, and nieces Doris Caryl and Sally, Jayhawkers all.&nbsp; Though she only returned to KS for visits, KS remained her soul.

Doris lived from 1966 – 2010 in Idaho Falls, ID.&nbsp; She developed long-term friendships with those she met in the League of Women Voters and the American Association of University Women.&nbsp; For years, she weekly volunteered with the Lutheran Braille Workers. She attended Hope Lutheran Church and was well and lovingly supported by the ministry and congregants.&nbsp; Her wonderful neighbors always looked out for her.&nbsp; Her physician, Eric Wingerson, DO, went above and beyond to assure her wellness and safety.&nbsp; Friends delighted in being among a long list of people whom she would call, delivering her unique birthday greetings.&nbsp; All would agree that Doris was a “character.”

Survivors include daughter Georgann, son Dane, grandson Andy, and granddaughter Mary.&nbsp;

Doris was preceded in death by her son Ricky, 1956; her former husband George, 2001; and her sister Dorothy, 2013.&nbsp;

A private graveside service will be held in Clay Center, KS in the autumn.&nbsp;

No memorials are requested.&nbsp; Doris would ask that all spend their funds to go to school and be educated.&nbsp;

A kiss on the forehead goes to everyone who cared for “the little ol’ lady on Tendoy,” as she cheerfully called herself.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Julia-Bailey">Obituary for Julia (Zaragoza) Bailey | Ryan Mortuary</a>

February 25, 1927 ~ March 13, 2021 (age 94)

Julia Zaragoza Bailey, 94, of Salina, passed peacefully at home surrounded by family Saturday, March 13, 2021. Julia was born in Salina, Kan., February 25, 1927.

Julia enjoyed her life to the fullest with family and friends. She was an avid gardener, animal lover, fantastic bowler (average 210), and traveled extensively throughout her life. What truly set her apart was her feisty loving spirit. To have her in your life was to know the true meaning of unconditional (sometimes tough) love.

Another trademark of Julia's Spirit was her tenacious work ethic. She graduated Salina High School in 1945 and went on to receive her business degree from Brown Mackie College. She worked at JJ Newbury, Beech Aircraft, owned and operated El Sombrero Restaurant, Gibson’s, A + B Machine Shop, Central Mall, and finished her career as a CNA and CMA at McCall Manor. She was a life member of the VFW Auxiliary, Sacred Heart Cathedral (Salina), and Machinist Union AFL-C10.

Julia was a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many. She is survived in death by her sisters, Patricia Martinez and Rita Alloway; children, Bruce, Scott, Barbara; grandchildren, Tyson, Melanie, Bruce, Gary (Jessica), Tonya (Josiah), Bryan, Tyler, Kayleigh; and ten great-grandchildren. She was never afraid to speak her mind and often shared her thoughts about life freely. Although she bestowed upon us many of her "pearls of wisdom" we find that her wording is a bit too "colorful" for the local paper.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ramon and Avelina (Torres) Zaragoza; daughter, Annette Bailey Biscamp; brothers, David, Henry, Augustine, Everett, Gabriel, Daniel, and Raymond; and sisters, Lenore, Mary, Margaret, Antonia, and Emmaline.

Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. Friday, March 26, at Ryan Mortuary, Salina, with a vigil service at 6.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 27, at Sacred Heart Cathedral, with burial to follow at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Salina.

Memorials may be made to Salina Animal Services, care of Ryan Mortuary.

<a href="https://www.ymzfh.com/obituary/Mary-Enz">Obituary for Mary Elizabeth (Stucky) Enz | Yazel-Megli Funeral Homes (ymzfh.com)</a>

 Mary’s life began on January 23, 1950, the daughter of Irvin and Wilhelmina Stucky in Newton, Kansas. She graduated from Berean Academy in Elbing, Kansas in 1968. She went on to Tabor College in Hillsboro and graduated in 1972 with a degree in Elementary Education. She married the love of her life, James Galen Enz on June 1, 1973, at First Mennonite Church in Newton. She was an elementary school teacher for seven years, teaching in Bushton, Kansas, and then Roosevelt and Washington Elementary in Newton.

Mary’s loves were her family and sharing her hobbies with her children and grandchildren. She taught them to sew, quilt, sing, garden, can produce, and bake. She loved riding her bicycle and spending time outside. Her solace was the “she shed” that her son-in-law built, which was furnished by antiques she restored herself.

Mary valued friendships and getting to know people personally. She was a second mother to everyone. All of her children’s friends enjoyed visiting the Enz house because Mary would make them feel welcome and at home. It also helped that she would whip up a batch of fresh cookies at a moment’s notice.

Mary loved life and gave back to the community. She served on the boards of 4-H, the Newton Community Children’s Choir, and the Charles Olson Memorial Scholarship Fund. She was an active member of Delta Kappa Gamma, the Treble Clef Club, and the Bethel Women’s Association. At First Mennonite Church in Newton, she directed the children’s choirs, taught bible school, and served on numerous committees.&nbsp; She and Jim served as youth sponsors. Mary never turned down anyone who asked her for help or advice.

Her loving family includes her husband, Jim of 47 years, of Newton; son, Nicholas Enz (Lisa Thimm) of Davenport, Iowa; daughters, Crystal Gaeddert (Joel) of North Newton, Jodi Runge (Brian) of Rural Newton; five grandchildren, Collin, Brett, Lily, Owen, and Jack; brothers, Gordon Stucky (LaDeen) of Newton, Norman Stucky (Beth) of Jefferson City, Missouri.

She was preceded in death by her parents. Mary passed away peacefully with her family around her after a long battle with leukemia, into the arms of her Lord and Savior on Monday, March 15, 2021, at the age of 71 years old.

Her family will gather with friends on Sunday, March 21, from 5-7 p.m. at First Mennonite Church, 429 E. 1st Street, Newton. A celebration of life service will be held on Monday, March 22 at 2:00 p.m. at Grace Community Church, 1600 S. Anderson, Newton. Interment will be a private family service in Greenwood Cemetery. The family requests that you wear a mask to the visitation and service.

Memorial contributions in Mary’s name may be directed to First Mennonite Camp Mennoscah or First Mennonite Church Children’s Ministries or Newton Community Children’s Choir in care of Lamb Funeral Home, P.O. Box 358, Whitewater, Kansas 67154. Please sign her online guestbook and leave a memory of Mary at ymzfh.com.

August 22, 1928 ~ March 15, 2021 (age 92)

SALINA - Ada Mae “Jo” Harbin was blessed to have her portion of life on this earth span 92 years. She was born on August 22, 1928 in Kansas City, Kansas.&nbsp; She transitioned to her heavenly home on March 15, 2021.

During her life on Earth, she experienced many historical events.&nbsp; She was born into this world prior to The Great Depression, an event that shaped her formative years.&nbsp; Then came WWII and the 1950’s baby boom years, followed by other wars, inflationary economies, and recessions.&nbsp; She moved from a pen to the typewriter, then to the computer, and saw the United States and world become smaller through changes in transportation and communications.&nbsp; Ada Mae ended her life journey during the global pandemic of the 21st century although she was not a victim of Covid-19 .&nbsp;

Her personal history included many wonderful opportunities.&nbsp; She was privileged to travel the world with her husband William (Bill), a WWII Navy veteran, who left this world two years before she did.&nbsp; The couple sailed many oceans and visited exotic locations around the globe.&nbsp; Locally, she helped her husband build his construction company and often volunteered in the community.&nbsp; She played bridge with the same group of women for over 50 years before they disbanded. She and Bill were faithful members of the First Christian Church and later the Covenant Church.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ada Mae’s greatest joy was her family.&nbsp; Her sense of worth was deeply imbedded in the nurture and service to her children—Gary Harbin, Debbie Wagner (Don), and Don Harbin (Tracy).&nbsp; Her children in turn gave her eight grandchildren:&nbsp; Brad Harbin (Whitney), Alex Harbin, Melissa Kazmi (Jaffer), Grant Wagner (Amanda), Audrey LeCrone (Matthew), Caleb Harbin (Ashlee), Christian Harbin (Maria), and Sarah Cooke (Bobby).&nbsp; Her great grandchildren numbered five with number six on the way—Olivia Harbin, Lawrence and Scarlett Kazmi, Everly Cooke, and Eliza LeCrone—who will carry a strong sense of her love into a world in need of compassion.

To celebrate Ada Mae’s heritage, a Kansas version of an Irish wake will be held at 4 pm on Sunday afternoon, March 28, at her home.&nbsp; The celebration will include a brief service followed by story telling and food.&nbsp; The family invites all who want to join in honoring her life.&nbsp; Memorial gifts may be given in Ada Mae’s name to the Ashby House, the Salina Symphony or the Greater Salina Community Foundation.
